Junior Kaleb Wyche next season has a chance to become the fourth player to be named All-Metro player of the year twice, joining Collegiate’s Russell Wilson (2005-06), Dinwiddie’s Harry Dalton (2022, 2024) and Highland Springs’ Khristian Martin (2022-23).
Junior Kaleb Wyche, the All-Metro player of the year, passed for 2,520 yards, ran for 1,223 and accounted for 51 touchdowns while quarterbacking Varina to the Class 4 state championship this season. Father Kennard and brother KJ were stars in another sport, combining for three All-Metro selections in basketball. The three have combined for three state titles, two by Kennard and on by Kaleb.

The proposal would compel the Virginia High School League (VHSL) to base eligibility on enrollment rather than residency. Hence, if a given school and/or school board deems that a student-athlete is properly enrolled, they will be ensured access to extracurricular activities regardless of where they live.
Running back TreVeyon Henderson (Hopewell) and offensive lineman Morgan Moses (Meadowbrook) can trace their roots from football's grandest stage all the way back to their Richmond-region upbringings on the gridiron.
James Franklin remembers well the days when Virginia Tech "was kicking butt and taking names." To get the Hokies back there, he's starting with Virginia's high school stars.
